METROPOLITAN THEATER-The McKan-
lass Colored Specially Company gave
performance Saturday evening and Satur-
day afternoon and final one last evening.
There are in the troupe some good, some
Indifferent peri rmers. McKanlass is
remarkably fine banjoist probably the best
to a level with instruments of accepted
higher grade. He plays upon large num-
Der of instruments, and on several stimuli
taneously. Emma Montel is clever vo
calist, and the children, Willie and Adj
lene precocious young singers, the girl a
mere baby and the boy but 6 years old.
Miss Griffin has a strong dramatic voice of
remarkable range.
COUNTY BOARD OF EDUcATIoN.-At a S. e.
cial meeting of the County Board of Edu-
cation on Saturday number of changes in
the course of study and in the school man
ual were proposed, and will be acted on at
the next meeting of the Board, March 5th.
On motion of Mr.. Johnson, it was ordered
that the teachers who hold city certificates
only are requested to forward them to
County Superintendent Howard, and that
he is directed to take date of their issuance
and when they expire; that he make out
county certificates corresponding TO the city
certificates for city purposes only. This
motion was also ordered to be acted upon
at the next meeting.
Nor A DEMocRAT.-I In the biographical
sketches of Legislators published in the
RECORD UNION on Saturday, there was an
error which we hasten to correct, though
the retraction bill hes failed, and Hon.
Ill from
Solauo, has not brought an action for libel.
He was spoken of as a Democrat by slip
of the pen The fact is, Mr.. Currey, is an
old line Republican, and a stanch one,
and to class him with the party he has
been Fighting" for years, might very
naturally excite his ire. We correct the
line and can certify that he is a Repub-
lican from top to toe.
FouND GUILTY-0n Saturday the case CT

ceiving stolen property, knowing the same
